We curently have parts of the Qt stuff, but this software would also be nice to have as Limba package:

GNOME Platform/SDK
KDE Frameworks 5 components
FFmpeg/libav
Python (?)
Steam Runtime
... Limba needs more testcases.

Hi @ximion

Python is ok ;) I bundled deepin-movie https://github.com/linuxdeepin/deepin-movie based on PyQt

@xiangzhai Woah, awesome! I recently got asked if gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders would work as well, so that's on the todo list then ;-) (might require setting an env var, but should otherwise not be an issue)

And I also bundled my little eom (Eye of Moses) for Limba https://github.com/xiangzhai/eom

eom is too simple ;) comparing with eog (Eye of GNOME) it uses GdkPixbuf https://github.com/xiangzhai/eom/blob/master/src/main.c#L119 but it still need more complex testcase for covering 100% APIs for GdkPixbuf ;)

Hey :) Might be just the right time to update those packages. I have recently worked a lot on the build pipeline of Limba, and with the new limba-build, building new bundles is incredibly easy. I also added some changes to make builds work easily on Jenkins, and even managed to have builds done in Docker containers, for people who love automation. I will create some documentation for that soonish. That being said, I'll create some more Limba packages next, and maybe LimbaHub will be ready so they can be made available on limbahub.com already :-)
